Greg Robinson, long time friend and associate of John Hoffmire and entrepreneur of significant note has accepted an invitation to join Progress. Greg will operate from his Utah home/office. Greg will provide needed energy in both fundraising and active project management and direction. He says his guiding principal is to "make life better" for those who have not had the advantages he has. We all welcome Greg to the team.

In other developments, Arizona is looking to expand the projects started in Wisconsin by the Credit Uions and Progress. It is felt that Arizona is well positioned to incorporate the tax services Progress is known for with the financial education currently being offered in Wisconsin. Recent conversations with national project directors have opened up two similar opportunities. Discussions will continue aiming for a 2010 implementation.

Tax time rapidly approaches and we are nationally in good shape to bring relief to many. Our project in Wisconsin is getting added enthusiastic support through Paul and his VISTA group.
